Eight officials of Barangay Carmona, Makati, including its chairman, were suspended for 90 days for neglecting to submit and enact the barangay annual investment program and budget in 2019 and 2020, according to the local government unit (LGU) of Makati City.
The city government said the suspension order against barangay chairman Joselito Salvador, presiding officer of the Sangguniang Barangay, and Kagawads Jason Layug, Andres Chua, Jeffrey Sordan, Christopher Guerra, Rosalie Garcia, Maria Andrea Paula Vicente, and Virgilio Guillermo will take effect on July 4, 2021.
In a Makati City Council resolution, it stated that Barangay Carmona operated on a reenacted budget for two consecutive years which deprived the residents of Carmona of much-needed social services and benefits because no funds were available for the implementation of social programs and services.
